Thailand offers visa-free travel to Russian visitors for 3 months

[wensiensheng]

I hope that there won’t subsequently be any whining from the Thai populace about badly behaved Russians.

 

Thai people reap what their government sows.

You a just kidding right? How often do you see a Russian in the news doing some illegal <deleted> or causing a public nuisance?  About 10 to 1 Russians vs any other nationality.

The big wigs in Bangkok do not give a damn about the Thai people. They only care about money.

That's the truth! Rich get richer, poor get poorer.

This person is quoting a leftwing rag. Wapo is an Anti-Trump leftist propaganda machine. Also who built those cages?  OBAMA BUILT THEM! This person is the type that sees AOC in her white outfit cry at an empty parking lot and believes she was crying over kids in Obama's cages.

You're new to the forum... so fair warning... do not engage with "STICKY"... he is a bitter person who has no constructive comments to share about any topic or person... his distorted view of the world is deep rooted and you will never change him... best to use your "ignore" button.

Hunter took 2 billion from the Saudis to help cover up a murder ? Didn't know that.   Hunter has a position with the Federal government ? Didn't know that.    Man you gotta watch out for those fact checkers they are annoying.

In a post only yesterday they said they wanted to introduce a 300 baht levy to limit tourism ?

Did you read that post or just the headline?

 

Hint: it is not about limiting the number of tourists visiting Thailand its about redirecting them to other less crowded destinations within the country.

no 60 days visa free entrance for EU-citizens? 😔My holidays are 6 weeks, every year we have to go to IT-Square in Laksi an pay for another 30 days stamp (but "using" just 12 more). Embarassing.

Fair warning -skip is a self appointed censor who deems to tell you who to correspond with on this forum as if you are not intelligent enough to make your own decisions.  Nanny State Syndrome

Sri Lanka kicked the Ruskies out for their "Whites only Policy"

[NobbyClarke]

There was an invasion of Russian tourists//money//mafia after the tsunami (if my memory is correct) and alough a few remained most returned.

The one's here this time do not want to fight for their country and I suspect most will return at a later date or end up in jail for overstay and criminal activity.

Of course the good ones will spend their money, not cause trouble, enjoy their family holiday and return on time.

Between the Middle East, Ukraine and the rise of BRICS, uncertainty abounds.

Good move by the Thais, keep relations with the Russians on friendly terms.

F-russians❗Loud, rude, shady, schemers...undesirables. Everyone spends money here. What's wrong with Happy Hour❓Low season comes every year. This is just Thailand looking to boost the already fat coffers with more trash. T.I.T.
